The BUL-18009-OR rear hub carrier is an RC-scale aluminium unit made to pair with HPI Bullet wheel and suspension layouts on BULLET 3.0 MT and ST models. It serves as a drop-in replacement for the plastic carrier to give a firmer rear mounting point while maintaining original chassis geometry.
Material and role: this orange-alloy carrier locates the wheel hub and carries suspension loads. Its increased stiffness affects rear-end compliance and the feel transmitted through the suspension during acceleration, braking and turning, so drivers should expect a measured change in handling response when switching from stock parts.
Installation notes: mount the carrier in the factory rear hub position and reuse the Bullet 3.0 rear bearings and screws. During installation check bearing fit, ensure the wheel hex lines up with the drive components, and tighten fasteners to the vehicle torque recommendation; verify free motion afterwards.
Tuning considerations: alloy carriers reduce local flex and can influence camber recovery and toe under heavy loads. Use this part in conjunction with shock and geometry adjustments to achieve the desired balance rather than assuming the carrier alone will correct handling.
